No allergies, no dislikes, I eat meat, game, veggies, et al. My favorite things are things I have not tried before and am delighted by authenticities, so I'm quite happy leaving things to the whims of my hosts, excitedly.

Not a picky sleeper or eater, don't mind pets or stock, dirt or mess, couches or floors. Although I have not interjected a whole lot in this process so far, I am a thoughtful communicator and will speak up if there is something I want or need or am troubled by. I am equally thoughtful listening to anything you want or need or are troubled by.

The only thing remotely non-standard about me is that I do not drink alcohol. Don't mind it, don't mind if others do, still very much enjoy pubs and such, just don't take it in. Tea, water, tonic is my standard, soda, juices... all good.

I am a very easy and simple man. No one needs to be worried about my happiness or comfort, for I am bringing all I need with me. I am content in doing the things that my hosts feel like I should do to get whatever experience they think would be cool for me. And yes, I am hoping this is my first trip of many, annually or biannually.

Thank you all for everything, I am looking forward to thanking you in person.

And, of course, I am planning to document my journey as thoroughly as possible and share it as widely and frequently as I can manage.
